What happened since the last report

People

Daniel Willmann <alphaone@openmoko.org> joined the framework team -- welcome on board, Daniel!

DBus APIs

org.freesmartphone.GSM has received slight corrections and enhancements based on feedback during implementing ophoned and gsmd2.

org.freesmartphone.{Event|Usage|Device} start looking more stable.

We have started brainstorming about org.freesmartphone.Preferences and org.freesmartphone.Context

Implementations

Openmoko Framework Image -- 'Groundhog Day' (Milestone I)

This is the first milestone release of the framework and the framework testing application 'Zhone'.

Purpose

A lightweight image that turns an Openmoko phone into a featurephone and that
serves as the basis for further application development experiments using the
freesmartphone.org dbus APIs.
Download / Installation

1. Grab a uImage and a .jffs2 for your device from http://downloads.openmoko.org/framework/milestone1/.
2. Flash it to your Neo1973 (om-gta01) or NeoFreerunner (om-gta02) with
dfu-util.
3. Boot and wait until the 'Openmoko - Please wait...' appears.
4. Note: If the application does not start after 2 minutes, please reboot
once. This can happen the first time you boot the framework image. It's a
last-minute bug that crept in this milestone (sorry!).

What you can expect from this release

Simple Telephony (singleparty calls).

First release of the following freesmartphone.org dbus APIs:

org.freesmartphone.Device

org.freesmartphone.Usage

org.freesmartphone.Event

org.freesmartphone.GSM

What you should not expect

100% working Suspend and Resume all the time (kernel issues are still

being worked on.

Anything beyond simple telephony. This will come in future milestones.

What we expect from you

Feedback and comments for the dbus APIs. This is your chance to take an

active role into shaping the application programming interface for all your
cool applications.
